In July 2024, The Supreme Court, upheld the constitutionality of Section 104 (1) (b) of the criminal code (Criminal Offences Act, Act 29) – the law on unnatural carnal knowledge.
The Plaintiff, Dr. Prince Obiri Korang contended that the provision on unnatural carnal knowledge offends Articles 18(2), 17(2) and 14(1) of the Constitution, 1992.
The Plaintiff thus sought for a declaration that section 104 (1) (b) be declared unconstitutional. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court speaking through Justice Amadu Tanko declined the invitation and upheld the constitutionality of section 104 (1) (b) of the criminal code.
